I'm looking at what happens later, the US said they will defend Israel and may even send some troops if necessary.

I don't like the idea of american troops endangering their lives and possibly losing lives for Israel.

Israel brought up the point that americans are in danger from Iran 'sleeper cells' to get more support from americans, using fear as a tool to get what they want.

Religion oh religion. People fighting over a so called holy land :confused:. When will this nonsense stop. Science has already solved the origins of man yet people still believe the creation stories. I suppose the devil planted evidence for evolution :haha:.

If Israel attacks and Iran does nothing for awhile then it's a separate incident.
Later if Iran does something offensive to Israel it can be seen that Iran is the agressor even though it's retaliation for a past incident.

The US doesn't want Israel to attack and may say things to dissuade Israel from doing so. Saying they won't help is one way of doing this. I don't believe what they say and that's my concern, the US can change it's stance whenever it suits them.

I don't want the US armed forces in any more danger than they are already.

and speaking of iran (which is the main topic of this thread actually) i wish israel would refrain from coordinating and financing the murder of their scientists

Ardeshir Hosseinpour (killed in 2007), Masud Ali Mohammadi (killed in 2010), Majid Shahriari (killed in 2010), Dariush Rezaeinejad (killed in july 2011) and Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan (killed in january 2012). today's director of Iran's atomic agency, Fereydun Abbasi-Davani, was gravely hurt in november 2010. and the general Hassan Moghadam died in november 2011, in the explosion of the barracks of the Revolutionary Guards.

that said, it all seems to point out that israel will bomb the shit out of iran sometime during the coming months.

Just answer the question in one or two simple words! Who has the fair principles that give them the authority to stop Israel? And why haven't they acted?

Unlike you, I don't at all question the futility of talking with you.

US Intelligence Says Iran Not Developing Nukes

“Recent assessments by American spy agencies are broadly consistent with a 2007 intelligence finding that concluded that Iran had abandoned its nuclear weapons program years earlier,” the report said. “The officials said that assessment was largely reaffirmed in a 2010 National Intelligence Estimate, and that it remains the consensus view of America’s 16 intelligence agencies.”

The report points to testimony from James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence, David H. Petraeus, the C.I.A. director, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all in agreement that there is no military dimension to Iran’s nuclear program.

In Islam suicide is haram (sinful) and one of the highest level sins. These Palestinians that blow themselves up do it as a last option KNOWING the high risk of going to hell in their beliefs is imminent. So it has nothing to do with the religion. You don't go to paradise for self-harm. That's BS.
